Ingredients

Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima) - The flesh of the avocado contains nearly 50% plant oil. Highly nutritious, it is a good source of vitamin E, magnesium and linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid and leaves the skin smooth and soft.

Echinacea Extract (Echinacea angustifolia/purpurea) - This pretty flower from the same family as sunflowers and daisies has striking purple petals. It is said to be named because the spiky conical seed head in the centre of the petals resembles a hedgehog (echinos is Greek for hedgehog). Native Americans first used this plant and it has since been used widely in herbal preparations ever since for anything ranging from colds and flu to skin conditions.

Borage Oil (Borago officinalis) - Nicknamed the herb of gladness by the Romans because of its use in treating depression. The beautiful star shaped flowers of this plant give way to tiny seeds crammed with a health promoting plant oil. This oil is one of the richest sources of the essential fatty acid GLA (gamma linolenic acid), which helps to lock moisture onto the skin.

Wheatgerm Oil (Triticum vulgare) -  This oil comes from the seed or ‘germ’ of the wheat stalk. Wheatgerm makes an excellent addition to massage oil as it contains high levels of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant.

Hops Extract (Humulus lupulus) - This herbal extract comes from the pinecone-like fruit of the hop plant and has astringent and toning properties.

Beta-carotene - Beta-carotene is one of the orange/yellow pigments responsible for the colour of many fruits and vegetables such as carrots, oranges, apricots. It is also widely found in green leafy vegetables but its colour is masked by the green chlorophyll. This is why when the level of chlorophyll in leaves falls during autumn the leaves turn a reddish colour as the beta-carotene becomes visible. Beta-carotene has antioxidant properties.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - This antioxidant helps protect skin against free radical damage caused by pollution and the sun’s radiation. We only use premium natural-source vitamin E which is up to three times more potent than the synthetic variety.

Glycerin - The glycerin we use is always vegetable derived. It is a humectant (attracts water), drawing atmospheric water onto the skin to aid hydration.

D-panthenol - Otherwise known as pro-vitamin B5, this B vitamin is necessary for the normal functioning of the skin and has a moisturising effect. It also helps stimulate cellular renewal.

My experience with Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser 

I have a dry/combination skin and every moisturiser used to make my oily T-zone super oily in summers. Previously during summers and humidity, I used to skip using moisturiser as very moisturiser, no matter how light, used to make my skin sweaty and greasy. I always used to end up with an oily forehead and nose and dry face.

Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser is a delicately scented, off-white cream and though it feels quite thick but absorbs instantly. The best thing about this is it instantly nourishes the skin without making it greasy and sweaty. Provides a matte effect to the skin and can be used before makeup too. I used this moisturiser during one of the rare occasions when I used a foundation. I The moisturiser vanished in a jiffy and the foundation too remained intact without any sweating. My skin looks quite supple and healthy. 

Overall, a very nice moisturiser which instantly nourishes and hydrates skin and vanishes all the dry, flaky patches. A great product for use in summers too since it gets instantly absorbed in skin and gives a matte look.
